Peanut OIL,

Do peanuts yield oila writes correspond
ent. Yes the oil from the peanut is as good
ne olive oil, and may be used for all purposes
for which olive oil is used. One bushel OF
peanuts will make gallon Of oil. The oil is
very nearly without color, il it is good oil. At
the time Of the war the South used it a great
deal in their machine shops and they affirmed
that for lubricating purposes it was superior 10
whale oil. II is valued, too, as burning oil
1t is largely used In soap manufacture. II is
stated that In. one year Marseilles, France,
imported from Africa five million dollars,
worth Of peanuts which were used In making
oil for manufacturing soap. What remains
after the oil Is expressed can be used for feed
for stock. In its natural state the peanut is
both nourishing to the mucles and also fatten-
ing. Some writer has said that no diet will
fatten pig or school boy quicker than
roasted peanuts.-Tpestern Rural

Wheat In Peril.

The following crop summary appeared in
last weeks issue OF the Farmers review. Tie
heavy rains whidh set in on the night Of Jan.
81 prevailed throughout nearly the whole win
ter wheat belt and resulted in laying bare
wheat fields over large areas. Without Sec
ond covering of snow the crop is In certain
amount of peril, but up to the close Of Jan. %
the correspondents have made no returns Of
resulting damage. The reports from Iowa,
Indiana and Michigan continue to be almost
uniformly favorable, the latest returns showing
that the fields were amply protected to the
approach OF the midwInter rain and storm,
and that the grain was looking we'll. The re-
ports FROM Missouri and Illinoise are not uni
fornly favorable. Some of the Southern
Illinois and Western Missouri counties report
an unfavorable outlook. The returns from
Butler, Chautauqua, Cherokee, johnson, Lyon,
Pottawattamie, Salem and Wallace counties,
In that state, show that fields arc not pro-
tected and that grain is looking poorly.

The worst storm in the memory of the cold
est inhabitant commenced Friday afternoon
and continued without interlnission until Sum-
day noon. During the whole time the air was
filled with flying snow. the wind blowing
gale which it was almost impossible for man
or beast to face. The mercury was during
part Of the time twenty degrees below zero.
A number Of farmer who had come IN Friday
morning were caught in the storm and COM
PEELED to remain in town till it was over. The
wind whirled the snow in every direction piling
1t in huge drifts at various points In town. In
front Of Ben Whtney's Office there is drift
nearly fifteen feet high, and at other points It
is nearly az bad. So far we have heard of no
casualties Of any kind, and beyond being de-
prived Of mails and being confined to the
house, our people suffered little inconvenience
The wind went down as suddenly as It had
sprung up, the sun shone out brightly, and be-
yond the piles Of snow left in every direction,
one would never have known that there had
been severe storm.

How to Secure Good Prices and Ready
Sales for Furs.

How to secure G ood Prices and Ready
Sales for Furs.
Cascd.-Erminc, fisher, fox, lynx, martin,
mink, 0possum, otter, skunk, must be cased
that is, not cut open. In skinning, cut at the
rump, and turn the skin inside out-like
glove-over the body Of the animal, leaving
the pelt side out.
Then, after scraping, cleaning, and drying,
turn the skin back again while tits soft and
easily managed, leaving the fur side out.
Then put a thin board inside the skin, cut
the natural shape Of it, stretching the skin to
its fullest extent, but not 80 much as to make
tho fur thin. Too much stretching spreads
the fur over large surface and makes
it thin and lacking In richness. A liberal sup
ply Of good boards should be kept on hand.
Stand or hang in dry, airy, shady place.
Keep out Of the sun, away from fire and
smoke.
Remove board when fairly dry.
Never use bent sticks, bows, or any thing
irregular in shape, or that yields.
When the above are opened, they have
Southern appearance that lessons their valuc
greatly.
Open.-Badger, bear, beaver, cat, raccoon,
wolf, wolverine, must he open; that is, cut
open up the belly from rump to head. After
scraping, cleaning, and drying, stretch in a
uniformly oblong shape, to the fullest extent
or the skin, but not so much as to make the
fur thin.
When thoroughly dry, trim of legs shanks,
fiippers, and any little pieces that spoil ap-
pearance of skin, but leave on head and nose.
Beaver are sometimes stretched almost
round, but appear very much better stretched
oblong. Value by the skin, never by the
pound. They rapidly lose heavily in weight.
They bring most sold by the skin.
Muskrat must be cased, but with fur side in.
Chop off the tails as explained. Skin at the
nose and make rumps square. Round tails
have less value, and do not sell so well.
Muskrat must not be injured by shot or
spearing. Trap them.
SKINS that have dried without proper care
can be treated same as fresh, green skins.
Otherwise they have no value. Dissolve a
handful of salt in pail of fresh water, and
apply frequently with brush or rag-to pelt

Then handle as explained.
The same with open skins
Trap furs. SpeariDg tears the pelt. Shot
cuts the pelt and shaves of the fur. Both do
bad injury and lessen selling prices.
Do not cure with alum or salt. Itinjures
them for dressing and spoils their sale.
Do not dry skins at fire, or In the sun, OF

before the French inventOr-to increase
the range and reduce the caliber. Re-
peating rifles were not, on the whole, IN
great favor. Experience showed that IN
battle soldiers, and especially young SOL
dfers. had a tendency to fire too quickly. A
little deliberation was advantageous, ana
reloading gave time for that The ealIoer
of the German rifle is eleven milllmeters,
the French have reduced theirs to eight,

the length of their range. The cartridge

where the powder is lodged, but in the
front narrowing considerably. The bull
let is long and narrow, with a penetrating
power pronounced officially by French
surgeons as capable of giving very cor

itself from the clean perfOration OF bones
instead Of leaving them splintered and
smashed. The diminution in the weight

An Etcher's Career-Demand for Con e.
Cartoon WOrIz-KcppIer.
The death of James A. Wales, the car
tOOnist, calls to mind how sudden has been
the development of the branch of art he
represented and how great the prosperity
Of those concerned in it in this country.
I had a friend who once put every dollar
of q considerable fortune in a factory for
making hair nets for women. A month
later the Empress Eugene decided to do
up her hair with pins, and my friend
couldn't get rid Of his factory as a gift.
Exactly the contrary was the case of Mr..
y. GribayedOf, who came to this town an
accomplished etcher and with taste for
q wing. He could not have drawn for
the newspapers then if he had wanted to
for nothing. War maps and portraits of
desperate criminals were the only forms
of pictorial art then known in the press.
Suddenly-Only the other day, as it
seems-pictOrial press associations were
formed for supplying the papers of the
country with portraits and sketches of
notable persons and things. The most
enterprising of the city dailies elaborated
the idea to embrace the widest range of
illustrations. GribayedCff found himself
so much in demand that he could scarcely
get time for sleep. w. y. McDOugall' and
his apt associate, Mr.. Fclson. were drafted
from the art world. and even such a man
as c. J. Taylor, OF Puck, who has won
hOnors at the academy, was pulled at
times into this newspaper work.
Almost as ra0d has been the demand
for comic and cartoon work The Ameri-
can cartoon practically had its birth in
Tweed's time at the hands of q man who
could hardly have been called an artist,
so rUdeIy did he draw. But he had the
kSculty for Selling public attention with
vigorous cartoons upon the fOllies and
abuses of the hour. and these were more
telling than speech or writing. Then
came Joseph Keppler with his humOr,
his artistic sense and training and his
bold grasp of timely subjects. After that,
Life, and now the revivified Judge, to say
nothing of Snaps and Chic and other
hasty ConSumptiveS that always figure IN
the field. The demand for artists for
these weeklies far exceeds the supply,
and possibly half of those who now Illus
trate these papers are little better guam
fed, so far as artistic schooling is con-
cerned, than the progenitOF Of their craft
in this country. Such a one was he,
Wales. who knew what to draw rather
than how to draw, and in his time was as
PROSPEROUS as the rest, though he could
not stand good luck as well as they.
But, good or bad trained or crude,
these men are all doing vastly well. The
newspaper artists 1 have mentioned make
from s.. 900 to S., 600 apiece, or more than
twice the pay of any reporters whose sto-
ries they illustrate, except one. Ihomas
